I'm not into hookah, but the person I was with loved it, so that's a plus if it's your thing. The music stayed on point all night, and if you're 420 friendly, you'll probably feel right at home here too. Definitely a fun spot if you're looking for good food, strong drinks, and a laid back night out.

The DJ was solid, I'll give them that, but the crowd was a totally different vibe -- not in a good way. We had to flag down the bartender for every single drink while she stayed glued to her phone (both of them). And the hookah? $63 with gratuity included minus any service to the coals or repack. This visit just confirmed why I've never been a fan of the Cru brand -- low quality, high prices, and zero reason to come back.

They didn't have a mocktail menu, but the bartender was kind enough to whip one up for us and they were only $4/each. This area is interesting. The plaza has about 3-5 lounge/club spots that seem to all get packed as the night goes on. Little Lagos and Boum Boum are in the same plaza.

Kennedy was also helpful, the bouncers took good care of a regular customer that had a little too much to drink and they handled the situation professionally and respectfully. They gave her dignity and were very patient with her.

I can't really speak on parking because we were dropped off but the entire area was packed! Upon entering we were guided to our section and it was a birthday celebration so we were asked when we wanted our bottle girls to start bringing our bottles. We wanted for the rest of the guests to arrive but in the meantime I ordered the birthday girl a hookah. I feel like the prices were reasonable and the vibe was vibin! Elite gave everything that needed to be given until we were kicked out our section because our time was up lol. By this time it was packed! We were bumping into people smh our driver informed us he was out front so luckily we got out of there. It was definitely a good time just check out my video to see my experience! Anyhoo until next time SYOY!

We had to all pile up in one somewhat bigger, right next to the dj booth or spend another $200+ to sit in a section that would actually fit us. We ended up in a very high traffic area where at least 5 people had to stand the entire time. Issue #2: We were moved out of our section almost 20 minutes after we bought our last bottle (by a completely different server) because "another group was coming". There were several groups that had been there longer than us or about the same time as us and none of them were rushed out the way we were. One of the male servers grabbed all of our stuff and said we had to move. He only offered an alternative table after I asked where we would go when we still had drinks, hookah etc. even then he only offered us an outdoor space that only 3 of us could've sat at. Our group spent over $700 and got rushed out as if we weren't paying customers. He kept tapping my shoulder rushing me to move when I was gathering my group since everyone was confused. The experience could have been better for the amount we spent with them. FYI Parking is also $30 if you want to be near the entrance. Very unlikely that we'll return to this location even though we were really excited to check it out after seeing TikTok videos and reviews on the place. We had already spent money so we made sure to enjoy what we could but the service at the end is really what ruined the experience.

I would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time, only tables left when we got there if you didn't have a reservation were outside or seats at the bar. Food was eh. I got the chicken and waffles and the chicken was very well-seasoned and tasty but the waffles were kinda soft and very plain and underwhelming. My friend didn't like the potato side with the basic b breakfast. Our drinks were great though! $20 bottomless also seems like a great deal. Overall: super fun, high energy brunch spot that I suggest making a reservation for ahead of time but food is not great.

To start: this isn't a good place to watch sports if you're an actual sports fan. Yes, there are…read moretvs everywhere, but the focus is on the pounding house music and party atmosphere. It's more of a nightclub that happens to have sports playing in the background. The good: the service was fantasic, very friendly and attentive. The food was fine, nothing to write home about, but enjoyable. I went for the WNBA finals (saw that they were listed as an official "partner") but they didn't put the game on until I asked. There were no Dream fans in sight. The hostess went out of her way to help me get a reservation, and asked why we left so early. Very friendly and helpful, just wasn't the ambiance we were looking for.

Shout out to Tyler, Tiara, Quay, and the young valet gentleman for making us feel right at home. A special thank you to Kimana. The day after our visit, I ran into her and recognized her from the V12 show. I told her how much I enjoyed my experience at V12, and she surprised me by FaceTiming Vinny since I didn't get a chance to meet him the night before. Such a cool moment! Vinny, thank you for taking the time to talk to me. You made a complete stranger feel like family. Unforgettable. My son and daughter were home from college for break, and Atlanta showed us a great time. V12 was a big part of that, and we can't wait to come back! AOA!

My guy and I visited V12 to celebrate my friend's birthday, and unfortunately, the experience was…read moreextremely disappointing. The service was terrible. Our waitress barely checked on us despite walking past our table numerous times. Our meals arrived individually, 10-15 minutes apart, and I received mine over 40 minutes after the first person was served. By then, everyone else had practically finished eating. They did comp my meal and were very apologetic. The food was mediocre at best. The fried chicken tasted like it was cooked in old grease, the collard greens tasted canned with added seasoning, and the cornbread was hard and dry. The mac and cheese was actually good. Be prepared to pay $10 for bottled water and an automatic 20% gratuity, conveniently disclosed in very fine print at the bottom of the menu. Our waitress received approximately $56 in gratuity for essentially taking our order and delivering food. We even waited another 20 minutes just to receive our check after the table had been cleared. Meanwhile, staff seemed more interested in taking pictures and creating social media content than actually attending to customers. The restaurant was nearly empty, which honestly made the lack of service even more disappointing. My guy vegetable rasta pasta and bottled water alone totaled $56 with tax and gratuity. Definitely not worth the price or experience. As an Atlanta native, I genuinely enjoy supporting local Black-owned businesses, but great aesthetics and social media hype cannot replace good food, attentive service, and hospitality. If you're visiting Atlanta and looking for an authentic, enjoyable dining experience, I would recommend choosing somewhere else. Unfortunately, V12 did not deliver.

Wait staff was very polite and responsive. Music was good with the live DJ. Definitely why I would consider a pre party before the party spot. IMO.. I'd say if your from outta town or even a local and haven't been. You should definitely make this a stop. Everyone should experience this place once at the very least in their life.

I was happy we came here as there was 1) delicious and a variety of food, 2) plenty of space to hang, play pool, watch tv, and drink, and 3) a huge selection of draft beers and craft cocktails to have while you hang out. Outside area, in the back, was a chill spot too and a great way to meet locals and people who are hanging out. I ordered wings after midnight and they were delicious! My friends had a burger and fries and that slammed too. Definitely look at the board at the entrance for any specials on food and/or drinks. There are 2 sides of the bar so don't be shy and feel free to order your drinks or food on the other side if it is too crowded for you near the front. There is plenty of seating (booths) on the other side as well and is spacious. Loved that even though there were plenty of people hanging out and drinking that it never felt crowded. Definitely a spot to go to even if all other places are open and bumping. This is a cool dive!
